Chapter 282

Alice stared at her brothers. They always used the excuse that Chloe’s father had saved her life. In her past life, that excuse had prevented her brothers from ever showing her any real affection, right up

until her death. She’d believed it too, that Chloe’s father had saved her, and she’d repeatedly given in. Ultimately, she’d given up her life.

But this time, she’d discovered that Chloe’s father wasn’t dead at all. That meant the car accident might have been connected to him. Why else would he be hiding behind Chloe?

Nathan exclaimed, surprised, “Alice, what do you mean?”

Ben looked suspicious.“Big Brother’s been investigating the person who fled the scene of the accident, but he’s only found leads connected to the Garcia family. There’s been no progress. Do you have any clues, Alice?”

Alice gripped her phone, wanting to slam the evidence on their faces. But she held back. This wasn’t the place, and she didn’t want to tip anyone off.

Alice said coldly, No. I have things to do. I’m leaving.”

She turned and left the mansion..

From an upstairs window, Chloe watched Alice go. Remembering Ben’s words, she felt a chill run down her spine. The Garcia family? She’d asked her brother before, and he hadn’t told her anything. Did he suspect her father too?

Her heart pounding, Chloe rushed to her room to tell her father. They needed to be prepared; they couldn’t be found out.

Alice left the mansion and went straight to the coffee shop they’d arranged to meet. On the way, she reread the message from the PR team, her excitement growing. Had they finally found Chloe’s father?

In the private room, Mandy was already there. She turned her laptop towards Alice.“After our investigation, we found this car suspicious. It was outside the Land mansion that night and ended up at this dealership.”

“Is it the dealership’s car?”

“Yes, it’s a service technician’s vehicle. We checked the dealership’s staff; we couldn’t find the man from the photo.”

Alice looked at the screen. “They didn’t find the man, but he definitely has ties to the dealership. Otherwise, how would he get a car from there?”
